Right, but doesn't `configure' detect this?  The output of
"grep inline config.log" should show it.

But what's its meaning then?  I thought `-qtune=auto' was roughly
equivalent to GCC's `-O2'.

So what does it do precisely?  :-)

There's only one place where `hstrerror ()' is used, and it's enclosed
in `#if HAVE_STRERROR'.  Thus, if Guile is compiled without `_USE_IRS',
the offending bit will be compiled out and no compilation error will
occur I suppose.  IOW, you should be able to compile Guile without
`_USE_IRS', right?

The results you show here are vastly different from what we expect,
which shows that AIX' `strftime' is not C99-compliant in its treatment
of `%z' [0].  (Actually, it doesn't seem to be documented at all [1].)

We'll have to update `have-strftime-%z' accordingly in `time.test'.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
